Gu Xiyu ate the snacks with gusto, unaware that Ye Qinglan and Grandma Rong had already walked a few steps away and started talking in a low voice.
"Cousin Xiyu still has a pure heart, and it is actually not easy for her to learn the rules." Ye Qinglan had clear eyes and a gentle and pleasant voice: "Please don't be angry or upset, grandma."
Naturally, Aunt Rong refused to admit that she was really angry because of embarrassment just now. She smiled lightly and said: "Miss Cousin is serious. Miss Gu didn't remember the rules taught by the slave. Naturally, she blames the slave for not teaching her well."
Grandma Rong admits that she is not a narrow-minded person, but in the scene just now, no matter who she is, she will feel like she has been tricked.
Ye Qinglan smiled and said: "Today is the first day, there is still a lot of time. No need to worry, Cousin Xiyu will definitely learn the rules well."
Listening to these obvious words of comfort, Grandma Rong smiled noncommittally. From the corner of her eye, she glanced at Gu Xiyu, who was concentrating on eating snacks, and sighed secretly in her heart.
Ye Qinglan's soft voice rang in her ears again: "I have been with cousin Xiyu for a long time, and I know her temperament fairly well. In fact, she is very smart. As long as she is interested in something or something she is interested in, she can learn quickly.
Good again.”
The implication is that learning rules is too boring and boring. Gu Xiyu is not interested at all and cannot listen at all. Naturally, she cannot learn well. If she wants Gu Xiyu to make progress, she must change her teaching methods.
Mother Rong naturally understood the meaning of Ye Qinglan's words, felt a little unhappy, and said lightly: "This is how you should learn the rules."
Don’t know how to adapt! Stubborn!
Ye Qinglan complained in her heart, but when she saw that Aunt Rong looked cold and didn't want to say more, she wisely stopped talking. Anyway, she had memorized everything that Aunt Rong had taught her, so she could just go back and teach Gu Xiyu slowly.
At this moment, Mrs. Zheng walked in with a smile.
Aunt Rong greeted her with a smile. When Mrs. Zheng asked Gu Xiyu how she was doing with the rules with a face filled with anticipation, Aunt Rong responded smoothly: "Miss Gu is very talented and understands it as soon as she hears it."
The so-called "talented and intelligent" actually means that you are not stupid. As for "understand immediately" means that although you understand something, it's a pity that you don't remember it.
Mrs. Zheng was well versed in the art of "tactful" speaking, so she naturally understood what Grandma Rong wanted to express. She said a little embarrassedly: "Thank you for your trouble, Grandma Rong. Dinner is already prepared. Please move it, Grandma."
Bu Jing Xinyuan.”
Aunt Rong declined a few words, then followed Mrs. Zheng to Jingxinyuan disrespectfully.
This time, Mrs. Zheng accompanied her in person, and her attitude was extremely cordial and kind. After the meal, she and Aunt Rong chatted for a long time, and before she left, she stuffed an exquisite wooden box over her.
Grandma Rong smiled and thanked her again and again.
Ye Qinglan watched Mrs. Zheng's actions from the side. She couldn't help but sigh in her heart. Mrs. Zheng had nothing to say about how good her precious daughter Gu Xiyu was. Otherwise, why should the dignified wife of Duke Dingguo and the empress's sister-in-law be so condescending?
To please a nanny in the palace?
After seeing off Aunt Rong, Mrs. Zheng finally had time to talk to Gu Xiyu: "Yu'er, have you learned the rules that Aunt Rong taught you today?"
Gu Xiyu blinked her eyes, then simply shook her head.
Mrs. Zheng was angry, funny, and had a headache at the same time. She couldn't help but mutter a few words: "That's all on ordinary days. Everything depends on your temper. This time is different than usual. On the Queen's birthday, the Emperor and the Crown Prince will personally attend
There are all the concubines and princes and princesses present at the scene, so nothing can go wrong. The Queen is considerate that you are young and don’t understand the rules of the palace, so she specially sent Aunt Rong to teach you. You have to study hard..."
Gu Xiyu didn't say anything and let Mrs. Zheng talk. But it was clear from her expression that she didn't listen at all.
Ye Qinglan's attention was attracted by these words. On Queen Gu's birthday, the prince must be present. In this way, the possibility of Shen Qiuyu entering the palace is also very high. By then, Gu Xinian will also enter the palace. Aren't the two of them about to meet again?
Uh, that's strange. Why would you be so excited when you meet someone again?
Ye Qinglan secretly despised her own gossip in her heart, but she still couldn't restrain her wandering thoughts. She couldn't help but continue to think about it. When the time comes, with the prince beside her, there will definitely be a good show...
"Sister Lan, have you learned everything Grandma Rong taught you today?" Mrs. Zheng interrogated her for a long time. Seeing that Gu Xiyu didn't understand all the questions, she simply came to ask Ye Qinglan.
Ye Qinglan hurriedly came to her senses and responded with a smile: "I remember most of it." Her memory is far better than ordinary people, and with Aunt Rong taking the trouble to explain it over and over again, there is no way she can't remember it. At this time, she is reserved and low-key. I just don’t want Mrs. Zheng to feel unhappy comparing the two.
Mrs. Zheng perked up and said with a smile: "In that case, please teach Yu'er more when you have time. She can't listen to what others say, but she is always willing to listen to what you say."
Ye Qinglan smiled and nodded: "Don't worry, aunt, I will definitely do my best to help cousin Xiyu."
Seeing that she was so obedient and obedient, Mrs. Zheng felt a little embarrassed. But to a junior, she really couldn't say anything like gratitude. She could only secretly think about taking advantage of this opportunity to enter the palace to give Ye Qinglan Let's prepare more beautiful clothes and jewelry.
Ye Qinglan is so smart. He guessed what Mrs. Zheng was thinking when she looked at her slightly apologetic face, and said with a smile: "Aunt, I don't do this for anything else. It's because cousin Xiyu is really good to me, and I do the same. I sincerely want to be nice to her. Please don’t worry about it, aunt."
Mrs. Zheng was moved by her considerateness. She was silent for a moment and then said with a smile: "You and Yu'er are really destined to be sisters. In a while, when your parents come back, I will personally How about coming to discuss with them and accepting you as their goddaughter?"
Even though Ye Qinglan was good at dealing with it, she couldn't help but be startled after hearing these unexpected words. Although she didn't know much about the customs at this time, she had always been cautious about getting married.
Mrs. Zheng said this, actually she wanted to better win over her heart and let her be Gu Xiyu's playmate with peace of mind. She didn't necessarily like her to this extent. But at this moment, she was still attracted by Mrs. Zheng's words. I was touched. What a pity for the loving mothers in the world. Mrs. Zheng really had good intentions in order to take care of Xiyu.
If she really accepted Mrs. Zheng as her godmother, wouldn't she be leaning against a big tree that can protect her from the wind and rain? Her status will also rise with the tide, and she will be able to straighten her waist and live a straight life in the Changyuan uncle's house in the future. The Duke's Mansion will also be much more convenient, and no one will dare to point fingers behind my back... In short, the benefits are hard to describe.
As long as you are not a fool, you will not refuse such a good thing.
But Ye Qinglan hesitated for a moment, but still declined politely: "Thank you aunt for your kindness. However, it is more troublesome to accept the marriage, so I won't use it."
There is no such thing as pie in the sky these days. Behind the huge benefits, there are often huge risks. Although Mrs. Zheng seems to be sincere, who can be sure of what she is planning in her heart? What if for some It's no fun to risk your own future just for a small profit.
More importantly, she didn't want to have anything to do with Gu Xinian. If she really accepted Mrs. Zheng as her godmother, wouldn't Gu Xinian become her godbrother? When she thought of Gu Xinian's look like
With a smile on his handsome face, Ye Qinglan's mind suddenly became much clearer.
Mrs. Zheng obviously did not expect that her proposal would be rejected. She was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said: "You don't have to rush to reject this matter, think about it for a few days and then give me an answer!"
Ye Qinglan smiled and said nothing. She did things neatly and never sloppily. Once she had made a decision, she would never change it.
Gu Xiyu had been listening to the two of them talking silently, and suddenly interrupted: "After we recognize our godfather, will Cousin Lan become my sister?"
Mrs. Zheng smiled and nodded.
Gu Xiyu's eyes suddenly lit up, and her face flushed with excitement: "That's great!" If Cousin Lan becomes her sister, she can stay with her in Lengyue Pavilion every day and never have to go back to Uncle Chang Yuan.
The house is over.
Ye Qinglan coughed and explained in a dumbfounded way: "Cousin Xiyu, my aunt was joking just now. Don't take it seriously..."
The light in Gu Xiyu's eyes dimmed, and she looked at Ye Qinglan pitifully: "Aren't you willing to be my sister?"
It really takes courage to say rejection in front of such a pair of eyes.
Ye Qinglan responded slyly: "I have always regarded you as my sister in my heart, and that is enough." Before Gu Xiyu could react, she asked with a smile: "Cousin Xiyu, don't you think so in your heart?"
Of course. Gu Xiyu nodded honestly. In her heart, Ye Qinglan had already become the closest sister.
"Since we all think so, it doesn't really matter whether we have this title, right?" Ye Qinglan's expression and tone were so sincere.
Gu Xiyu, a simple child, could not resist such deception, so she nodded naturally.
"What title?" A familiar voice lazily sounded from behind.
As soon as Ye Qinglan heard this voice, she straightened her waist reflexively, clasped her hands, and looked at the person calmly.
The light outside was very dim, but the house was brightly lit. He seemed to suddenly appear from the darkness, with his jade-like handsome face and leisurely look, instantly lighting up the whole house.
Gu Xinian's dark eyes glanced at Ye Qinglan's face for less than a second, then he looked at Gu Xiyu with a smile, and his voice was as gentle as he wanted: "Yu'er, what were you saying just now that makes you so happy?"
Gu Xiyu was not used to explaining, so she looked at Ye Qinglan naturally.
As soon as Ye Qinglan saw Gu Xinian, she went into a subtle state of alert. She had no time to speak for Gu Xiyu and turned her eyes away. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to come.
